Abstract The present study was carried out to develop and evaluate wine from custard apple (Annona squamosa) using two different varieties, namely local variety (CA1) and hybrid variety (CA2), at a pulp-to-water ratio of 1:2. The fermentation process was conducted using Saccharomyces cerevisiae for a period of 8 days, followed by ageing and maturation. Physico-chemical parameters such as pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids (TSS), specific gravity, and alcohol content were analyzed during fermentation.
The results indicated a gradual decrease in pH from 6.4 to 3.9 (CA1) and 6.3 to 4.0 (CA2), confirming increased acidity during fermentation. Titratable acidity showed variations, with higher values observed in CA2 compared to CA1. TSS decreased from 22°Brix to 6.5°Brix (CA1) and 7°Brix (CA2), indicating utilization of sugars by yeast. Alcohol content increased progressively, reaching 8.5% in CA1 and 7.9% in CA2, demonstrating effective fermentation.
The study concludes that custard apple pulp is a suitable substrate for wine production, with the local variety (CA1) showing slightly better fermentation efficiency and alcohol yield than the hybrid variety.
